Asexual reproduction is better because it is more convenient!
1. It only requires one organism
2. Results in more offspring
3. Usually a quicker process
OR
Sexual reproduction is better because it results in more genetic diversity!
1. Requires two organisms of the same species
2. Genetic material mixes together to create a random, unique combination
3. Recombination of genes decreases the chances of defects, diseases and mutations

Hope this helped some! :)

With respect to angiosperms, which of the following is incorrectly paired with its chromosome count?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Megaspore—2n.

Explanation:

Angiosperms are the fruit bearing plants and reproduce by the process of sexual reproduction. The chromosome number are specific at each stage of the cell cycle of the angiosperms.

Microspores , egg are haploid. Zygote is diploid in nature. Megaspores get germinate into the female gametophytes and these are haploid in nature. Megaspores are also haploid in angiosperms.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

The noncyclic pathway is a FLOW of electrons from water, to photosystem II, to PHOTOSYSTEM I to NADPH. Energy is released as ELECTRONS move through the first electron transfer chain. This energy pumps HYDROGEN IONS into the thylakoid compartment, and then they power the formation of ATP as they flow back out. Sunlight provides the energy needed to keep this cycle going.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luminous energy is trapped by chlorophyll in Photosystem II.
When the pigment molecules absorb light, electrons provided by water molecules get in a higher energy level.
The excited electrons go through the electron transport chain from Photosystem II to a less energetic level in photosystem I.
When the excited electrons leave photosystem II, they are replaced by new electrons extracted from the water molecules.
Luminous energy absorbed move the electrons from the photosystem I to another electron acceptor, from where they get transported again and used to produce NADPH molecules.
When electrons leave Photosystem I, they are replaced by new electrons coming from photosystem II.
When the water molecule breaks down, hydrogen ions remain in the thylakoid lumen, from where they are pumped to the stroma by the ATP synthase.
The released energy is used to produce ATP molecules.
Hydrogen ions go back from the stroma to the thylakoid compartment.

The final products are oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

The Moon can be seen on Earth because it produces its own light. True or false

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

These different faces are called phases and they are the result of the way the Sun lights the Moon's surface as the Moon orbits Earth. The Moon can only be seen as a result of the Sun's light reflecting off it. It does not produce any light of its own.
